The GOVERNMENT STEEL CONTRACTS.

The Government contracts ma 10 last March
for steel forgings and arnor plate werc gen.
orally commended as advantageous to n ionai
offence and home In ustfies. The general
manager Of tho Bethlehem Iron Company
stated in letter to Secretary VIII they that
complete forging plant hal been p divided
at cost Of between 100000 and $4U0. 900,
and that 100000 was TO be expended for
additional machinery and sools. He alsd
explained that additional arr ngements hid
been made for completing the plant for both
guns and amor plate, if the contracts should
DO obtained, and that the aggregate cost Of
the machinery required for doing the work
would be $1,5O0.OO0. The com my, he

II is evident from the expressions OF the news
papers Of the interior that the canal convention
which meets at Rochester to-day will be asked
20 indorse the proposition looking for federal
aid to foot the bills for canal improvements.
Judging from the experience OF the last two
years the movement is not likely 70 be successful
A determined effort made TO commit the
canal conventions Of 1855 and 1888 to this
proposition, but it failed on both occasions.
The President is graciously pleased to accept
any Western invitation, provided the Union vet
eran is left out.

tho katydids have begun to sing along the
Hudson and that the katydds always tune up

II will not be long before we shall be reading
the familiar telegram telling that the thermometer
is "a below zero in Dakota and that all the
roads In the Northwest are blocked by snow.

The Third Party Prohibitionsts deserve the
credit OF being called courageous men. In the
face of the fact that they only polled 7S5 votes
in the city last year-a falling of OF nearly one
half from the year bcfore-they have held
convention in this hot weather and nominated
full city ticket to be voted for next November.
They polled less than one vote for each election
district last year. 1t requires courage to nomi-

THE FLOWER OF FAME

At morn bud.
Whose leaves. still dampened by the morning
dew,
Give promise OF beauty unsurpassed,
And lay upon ihs altar OF our view
The possibilities the future may possess.
At noon full blown rose,
Whose fragrance. which il s'atters on the air,
Is e1ualed only by its loneliness.
The mo lei which thu artist paints with care
And the never-dying substance of the poets
song.
At night a faded flower,
Whose withered leaves are trampled into
Urheeded by the busy pa>ser-by;
Whose perfume, which was borne by every
gust,
Is lost amid the tempest Of the night
AMI so with fame.
At morn It's frightened By hopes fare
dr., cams,
To bloom into realty at noon;
At eve the suns refulgent beams
Find but the ashes of ambition fame
Id. 60 ley in the Comet.

Hotels in Mexico.

proprietor of the hotel went to what he
charged per day. He said 81, and that
without board.
"Why don't you run restaurant in

.'Oh, it would be bother" replied
the landlord.
"Why don't you give meals with
board, American style, and make the
profits yourselfl"
at would be too much bother, !" he re-
piled, Struggling his shoulders.
Actually, the proprietor is 80 afraid OF
being bothered he don't care straw
whether anyone stops with him or not.
/ asked for wash list to give out some
linen to be washed, and was Informed
that they never furnished lists for wash
inc nor had anything to do with laundry
ing clothes, because it was bother.
Some of the servants had kin people,
though, who might wash for me, was
informed. A tourist, was told, came
on ahead and said to the proprietor Of a
hotel that he had eighty in his party,
who would arrive next day, and wanted
to know if any reduction would be made
from the regular charge Of 81 per day on
account of the large number. The pro
prietor, with a languid sigh, informed
the sstonished tourist that he would
charge each of his party $50 because
he would have so much bother. Boston

A painful incident, which recalls Ed
gar Poe's thrilling sketch entitled;
''Premature Burial" is reported from
Saumur A young man, who was al
flicted with q contagious disease, sud
denly died, at least to all appearances,
and his burial was ordered to take place
as soon as possible. The undertaken $
men. who carried the coffin to the grave,
thought that they heard noise like
knocking under its lid, yet, being afraid
of creating panic among the people who
attended the funeral, they went on with
their burden. The coffin was duly
placed in the grave, but, as the earth
was being thrown upon it, unmistakable
sounds of knocking were heard by every
body. The Mayor, however, had to be
sent for before the coffin could be opened,
and some delay occurred in the arrival
of that official. When the lid was re-
moved the horrible discovery was made
that the unfortunate inmate had just died
from asphyxia.

"STOP THE SHIP"

1t was a dark. moonl'ss night, in the
middle OF december, and the rising
wind was whistling in the rigging and
piping among the tsut shrouds of the
steamship Sandman, as she plunged
through the Atlantic surge, hOmeward
for Liverpool.
The sloping decks were silent and de-
serted, save tor the figure of the officer
on watch, pacing suddenly up and down
before the wheehouse, and little group
of saloon pass myers clustered under the
lee of the starboard lifcboat on the quar-
ter-deck. There was some half-dozen of
us in all. Two fair Canadians on their
way to spend the holidays in the ''old

Homeopathy.

Homeopathy, as a system of medicine,
was introduced by DR.. liahncmann, a
native of Germany, toward the close of
the last century The name is derived
from two Greek words signifying sim
liar suffering" iIahnemann's convic-
ton was that medicines can cure dis
eased conditions similar to those which
they have the power to excite. In
short, that diseases are cured by medi-
cines which produce symptoms in
healthy persons similar to those pre-
seuted by the patient. In order to elab-
crate his idea he was obliged to practice
upon himself and friends. The result
OF his labors in this direction are pub
lshed in ten volumes. -Herald. Of

the packet.
The former told of so much love and
happiness that had been coming on
flying feet to meet her that at first she
could not take this cold clay as sole
answer.
Laurence Holt had met John Terrell
a few days before in some Western
city, and, learning from chance remarks
of the latter (who has not yet recovered
from his surprise at a woman's refus-
ing, not him, but his wealthy what had
actually occurred that evening, long
ago, he started home at once. He was
not much richer In pocket than then,
but his heart was full of joy and bright
hopes, and clean.swept of all those sick
ening doubts and fears which he now
knew were the distortions of a created
fancy.
Sometimes people die of a rush of
happiness to the heart, IS we'll as from
a rush of blood to the brain.
If he had been Scotch he would have
distrusted this overllush of joy, like the
consumptlve's sudden rise OF strength
that is the prelude to death.
In the yellow, time-discolored paper,
Lucia found a faded bunch Of violets,
the words of an old song she had
copied, and two ragged bits of dark
blue flannel pinned together with the
spiky leaf Of the aguarita.

his Joy, or else what subtle prescience
made him thus photograph his heart
for her.
Those last hours shall be sacred.
If she ~reproached herselt-neyer him
and moaned that she had not been
kinder In the days that were past, had
not listened more to love and less to its
rival pride; II she wounded herself with
bitter words for her blindness, Knocked
her poor heart for its dizziness, and
blamed her poor lips for their silence
why, all will understand.
And If she wondered. in strange
usefulness why God made His crea-
lures to pass through so much of pain,
and why He gave them bodies to be
racked and spirits to be brulsed-all
will understand this, too.
Lucia Grey went home to take up
the dropped stitches of her sweet,
patient life, and Intervene with them
the beauty and pathos OF our lives
brlght-colored threads from the hands
OF little children; blues and reds that
lovers brought, and purple strands,
drawn here and there from sin-stained
fingers; all to mingle lovingly IN the
spotless web of her own sorrow-crowned
existence.
Remembering how Laurence had al
ways loved violets, calling them little
lost children from the Garden of Eden
still laden with the perfume of Gods
breath, she and joe planted them in

them carefully, so that every spring the

They seek each other all their weary days,
And die uns4tishe d-ani this Is Fate.
